re: Release of Steam Machines/boxes?

What he said. They are the same CPU, made with the same specifications, but with semiconductor fabrication, there is always a margin of error. You can't guarantee that every chip will run at the same clock speed at the same voltage, so the CPUs that come off the line that don't clock as high as others might be "binned" as 8320s. But it's not always that cut and dry -- they have to respond to the market, so if there's a higher quota that needs to be fulfilled for 8320s, they aren't necessarily being picky about which chips get the lower bin. That can also apply to the 8350s, in that there might be some 8350s that don't overclock that well. It's really luck of the draw, but the bottom line is that I'm sure we'll be able to overclock that 8320 to match the 8350's speed, easily.
